Jenesis 35
1 Chineke sịrị Jekọb, “Bilie, gaa Betel, birikwa nʼebe ahụ. Wuo ebe ịchụ aja nye Chineke, onye mere ka ị hụ ya mgbe ị na-agbanarị Ịsọ nwanne gị nwoke.”
And God said to Jacob, Arise, go up to the place, Baethel, and dwell there; and make there an altar to the God that appeared to you, when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.
2 Ya mere, Jekọb gwara ndị ezinaụlọ ya na ndị niile so ya sị, “Wezuganụ chi ndị ala ọzọ dị nʼetiti unu. Doonụ onwe unu ọcha, gbanweekwanụ uwe unu.
And Jacob said to his house, and to all that were with him, Remove the strange gods that are with you from the midst of you, and purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
3 Bilienụ, ka anyị gaa Betel, ebe m ga-ewu ebe ịchụ aja nye Chineke, onye zara m oku nʼụbọchị nsogbu m, ma nọnyekwara m na njem nke m gara.”
And let us rise and go up to Baethel, and let us there make an altar to God who listened to me in the day of calamity, who was with me, and preserved me throughout in the journey, by which I went.
4 Ya mere, ha nyere Jekọb chi ndị ala ọzọ niile ha ji nʼaka, na ọla niile dị ha na ntị. Jekọb chịịrị ha niile lie ha nʼokpuru osisi ook dị na Shekem.
And they gave to Jacob the strange gods, which were in their hands, and the ear-rings which were in their ears, and Jacob hid them under the turpentine tree which is in Secima, and destroyed them to this day.
5 Ha biliri ije. Egwu Chineke dakwasịrị obodo niile gbara ha gburugburu. Ọ dịghị ndị chụsoro ha.
So Israel departed from Secima, and the fear of God was upon the cities round about them, and they did not pursue after the children of Israel.
6 Jekọb na ndị niile so ya rutere Luz, nke a na-akpọkwa Betel nke dị na Kenan.
And Jacob came to Luza, which is in the land of Chanaan, which is Baethel, he and all the people that were with him.
7 Jekọb wuru ebe ịchụ aja nʼebe a, kpọọ aha ebe ahụ El Betel, nʼihi na ọ bụ nʼebe ahụ ka Chineke gosiri ya onwe ya mgbe ọ na-agbanarị Ịsọ nwanne ya nwoke.
And he built there an altar, and called the name of the place Baethel; for there God appeared to him, when he fled from the face of his brother Esau.
8 Mgbe nke a gasịrị, Debọra, nwanyị lekọtara Ribeka mgbe ọ bụ nwantakịrị, nwụrụ. E liri ya nʼokpuru osisi ook dị na Betel. A kpọkwara ebe ahụ, “Osisi ook ebe ịkwa akwa.”
And Deborrha, Rebecca's nurse, died, and was buried below Baethel under the oak; and Jacob called its name, The Oak of Mourning.
9 Chineke gosiri Jekọb onwe ya ọzọ, mgbe o sitere na Padan Aram pụta, gọziekwa ya.
And God appeared to Jacob once more in Luza, when he came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, and God blessed him.
10 Chineke sịrị ya, “Aha gị bụ Jekọb ma a gaghị akpọkwa gị Jekọb ọzọ, kama aha gị ga-abụ Izrel.” Ya mere ọ kpọrọ ya Izrel.
And God said to him, Your name shall not be called Jacob, but Israel shall be your name; and he called his name Israel.
11 Chineke sịrị ya, “Abụ m Chineke onye pụrụ ime ihe niile. Mụọ ọmụmụ, baakwa ụba nʼọnụọgụgụ. Otu mba na igwe mba ga-esi na gị pụta. Ndị eze ga-esitekwa gị nʼahụ pụta.
And God said to him, I am your God; increase and multiply; for nations and gatherings of nations shall be of you, and kings shall come out of your loins.
12 Ala ahụ m nyere Ebraham na Aịzik ka m na-enyekwa gị. Aga m enyekwa ya ụmụ ụmụ gị ndị ga-esote gị.”
And the land which I gave to Abraam and Isaac, I have given it to you; and it shall come to pass that I will give this land also to your seed after you.
13 Emesịa, Chineke si nʼebe ahụ ha nọ kparịtaa ụka pụọ.
And God went up from him from the place where he spoke with him.
14 Jekọb wuru ogidi nkume nʼebe ahụ Chineke nọ gwa ya okwu. Ọ wụsara onyinye ihe ọṅụṅụ wụkwasịkwa mmanụ nʼelu ogidi nkume ahụ.
And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God spoke with him, [even] a pillar of stone; and offered a libation upon it, and poured oil upon it.
15 Jekọb kpọrọ ebe ahụ ya na Chineke nọ kparịtaa ụka Betel.
And Jacob called the name of the place in which God spoke with him, Baethel.
16 Ha biliri ije, site na Betel. Ma mgbe ha ka nọ ebe dị anya site nʼobodo Efrat, Rechel mụrụ nwa, ma o nwere ihe mgbu ka ọ na-amụ nwa.
[[And Jacob removed from Baethel, and pitched his tent beyond the tower of Gader, ]] and it came to pass when he drew near to Chabratha, to enter into Ephratha, Rachel travailed; and in her travail she was in hard labor.
17 Mgbe o sitere nʼoke ihe mgbu na-amụpụta nwa ahụ, nwanyị na-aghọ nwa gwara ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ọ bụ nwa nwoke ọzọ ka ị mụtara.”
And it came to pass in her hard labor, that the midwife said to her, Be of good courage, for you shall also have this son.
18 Ma tupu Rechel ekuo ume ikpeazụ, nʼihi na ọ na-anwụ, ọ kpọrọ aha nwa ọhụrụ ahụ Ben-Oni, ma nna ya kpọrọ ya Benjamin.
And it came to pass in her giving up the ghost (for she was dying), that she called his name, The son of my pain; but his father called his name Benjamin.
19 Rechel nwụrụ, e lie ya nʼakụkụ ụzọ gara Efrat, nke a na-akpọkwa Betlehem.
So Rachel died, and was buried in the way of the course of Ephratha, this is Bethleem.
20 Jekọb wuru ogidi nʼelu ili ya, nke na-eguzokwa ruo taa, igosi ebe e liri Rechel.
And Jacob set up a pillar on her tomb; this is the pillar on the tomb of Rachel, until this day.
21 Izrel malitere ije ya, tutu ruo ebe o wuru ebe izuike ya nʼala dị nʼofe ọzọ nke Migdal Eda.
And it came to pass when Israel lived in that land, that Ruben went and lay with Balla, the concubine of his father Jacob; and Israel heard, and the thing appeared grievous before him.
22 Mgbe Izrel bi nʼala ahụ, Ruben gara dinakwuru Bilha, iko nwanyị nna ya. E mekwara ka Izrel nụ ihe a Ruben mere. Ụmụ ndị ikom Jekọb dị iri na abụọ.
And the sons of Jacob were twelve.

And the sons of Zelpha, the handmaid of Lea; Gad and Aser. These [are] the sons of Jacob, which were born to him in Mesopotamia of Syria.
27 Nʼikpeazụ, Jekọb bịakwutere nna ya Aịzik na Mamre nke dị nso na Kiriat Arba (ebe a na-akpọ Hebrọn). Ebe ahụ ka Ebraham na Aịzik biri na mbụ.
And Jacob came to Isaac his father to Mambre, to a city of the plain; this is Chebron in the land of Chanaan, where Abraam and Isaac sojourned.
28 Nʼoge ahụ Aịzik gbara narị afọ na iri afọ asatọ.
And the days of Isaac which he lived were an hundred and eighty years.
29 Ọ dịkwaghị anya site nʼoge a, Aịzik nwụrụ, mgbe o mere nnọọ agadi. Ụmụ ya ndị ikom abụọ, Ịsọ na Jekọb, liri ya.
And Isaac gave up the ghost and died, and was laid to his family, old and full of days; and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
